Summer School Menus for the first two weeks. Once again this summer breakfast and lunch are free for all students through the Summer Food Service Program. The SFSP is administered by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
We encourage parents to be informed about the variety of tobacco products on the market. Currently products include electronic cigarettes, little cigars, smokeless products, sweet candy flavors, and new products designed to hide addiction in plain sight. Products are dangerous and deceptive and don't look anything like a pack of cigarettes.
DESE is partnering with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) on a statewide campaign, “Tobacco is Changing”, to educate parents about the different candy-flavored tobacco products tempting kids into addiction.

On Friday, May 12 the 3rd grade students went to the Challenger Learning Center. The students spent the day learning about the solar system, the International Space Station and building rockets. Students participated in a simulated mission as a group trying to locate an unidentified space object. The day ended with launching the rockets they made. The field trip was an “out of this world” experience.

Rachael Robinson is a four year member of our special education staff. Rachael's advice to students is do your best. We all make mistakes, we just need to learn from our mistakes. Someday Mrs. Robinson hopes to ride in a hot air balloon and to visit Hawaii and Australia.
REMINDER!
Mrs. Marshall and her first graders are taking advantage of the nice weather. They took phonics outside to review the final stable syllables fle, ble, dle, ple with sidewalk chalk.
Karla Rimel has been a member of our special education staff for 16 years. She hopes her students will always remember how much she cares about them.
Our fourth grade students had an exciting day at the Audubon Center at Riverlands. The trip is designed to promote Every Kid Outdoors. This program allows all 4th graders to get into National Parks for free. Today students went in canoes, studied birds, found tadpoles and other aquatic animals while exploring. They also learned some St. Louis history and specifically some more about Lewis and Clark.
